Bamboozler SG

From the link you provided -

VSC Officers receive an allowance of S$2.80 an hour by the Government, regardless of rank.

First time I'm hearing of volunteers getting paid.

plain_queen SG

Hi ya. Min entry O level?? N level cannot r? Voluntary ma..still need see cert? Oh and training how long? what kind of training?

Pitot SG

You will carry out police duties so a certain level of education is needed.

Police training lor. Laughing

viciouskitty74 SG

NPCC and VSC training different wan.

Discipline is the same, uniforms, marching & shooting training. Except its a higher calibre revolver.

Timing wise, classes are conducted in the evening, so it wont disrupt your normal working/studying hours. Twice a week. Usually Monday & Thursday nite.

New intakes are now conducted at HTA and it takes about 8-9 months to complete the course. While in training, you are given an allowance for the hours you actually are training.

Can submit application forms, but note that there is now a aptitiude test. This test will determine your suitability for any SPF/Enforcement positions for the next 3 years.

Then there is physical examinations to make sure you are of reasonable health.

Ex-POs might not have to go thru the whole 8-9months course. Depending on how long ago they left the force.

yo darling....VSC oso have to write log sheets, interact with the public, and sometimes assist in writing statement.

If (no offence here), cannot write simple proper English and do some simple explanation and interaction, it will reflect badly on the officer and the organisation.

VSC suppose to supplement and assist the regulars in better ways..

viciouskitty74 SG

last time n level can lah.

but then....that was 14 years ago. Laughing

funniegal SG

Me onli N level with Ite cos cert wor. Sigh... with low cert doesnt mean low standard class...WHAHAHA.

viciouskitty74 SG

I agree.

I've seen better officers with ITE certs or even just Sec 2 education.

Its the attitude that counts.

But if funniegal is a male, completed NS with the SPF, there is another scheme which ex PO/PNS/VSC can opt for w/o the need of a O level.

But if female, then its difficult. Sorry.

Pitot SG

nitec can wad.

priv21 SG

The aptitude test consists of what kind of questions?Are they those kinda funny IQ pattern questions or will ask logical questions like questions on moral reasoning?

How many questions are there and how long ?

viciouskitty74 SG

Farni iq questions has.

moral questions has.

logic questions has.

maths questions has.

3 hours written test. i hear its some multiple answers too.

priv21 SG

so if we fail the test aka found not suitable to be a police officer from the test, out we go from selection?

viciouskitty74 SG

Yes, and you wont be getting into any parts of the SPF for the next 3 years at least.

Twisted_mind SG

I’m disrupted from PNS after 2 yr 1+ mth of service. Currently a full-time student. Am i eligible to join?

corebooster SG

VSC need to fufil their FullTime National Service Liability.=) since u disrupt NS..sorry NO. coz..if u have time 2 serve VSC, means u have time for ur FTNS. so do ur NS….den apply VSC

d0ud0u SG

I damn wanted to join VSC or SPF as regular PO lor.. But i did not get thru the psychometric test or the aptitude test mentioned.. HAd to wait another 3 years at least.. viciouskitty told me 5 years that time when i asked her.. I was totally discouraged. But now, i feel better after see-ing “3 years” haha. i hope that i can get through everything and become a PO after i graduate from poly at 2009.

viciouskitty74 SG

Dont think too much about it.

Frankly, I find the psche test a bit too weird out. Hope they can discard it sooner.

corebooster SG

i still prefer them to analyze NPCOs n VSCs when interacting with them and seeing them on duty, i still dun understand de test after doing it too. hahaz. I still feel, its down to ur ability to carry out ur duty and ur ability to interact with the public that matters in NPCO.

Tiggerific SG

actually the main purpose of the psychometric test is just to detect 'patterns' in answering them. to see if the answers are consistent. cos i'm sure those who've done the test would notice that many questions keep repeating themselves, either wholly or in one way or another.

so basically it is about your integrity when answering the questions, effort made... stuff like that. the more sophisticated interpretations are up to the people at PPSD. Very Happy
